How lovely it is to sit down and write to you! I am always overjoyed as I report what the Grace of God has accomplished in my life, and I pray the father’s unfailing favor continues to uplift you too in your personal life.
During the entire month of July I have been very much encouraged by the verse “But unto every one of us is given GRACE according to the measure of the gift of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:7) This means, no matter what we are facing, to each one of us grace is available to help and lift us through it all!
I have been on the road for the whole month of July, visiting 5 different Sates of the US. The Lord’s grace has been abundant in all things and every place wherever I have placed my foot. And I have been able to witness revival in missions among children and adults alike!
Ministry News
The month kicked off as I arrived at the Advancing Native Missions (ANM) base in Virginia. ANM advocates for native missionaries around the world, especially focusing on the 10/40 window, where the most unreached people in the world are located.
I have been traveling with the ministry representing native missions in children Vocational Bible Schools (VBS). I have visited 8 churches within the last month, and ministered to over 400 children. Last week alone we had 22 children give their lives to Christ! Praise God!
A very touching point in my life is when I got to meet a 7 year old young girl who received the Lord last year at a VBS I was ministering. She had emailed me in March this year and told me how she had been praying for me each day for the previous 3 weeks. Last week, each single day during the VBS she came to me and said “I prayed for you last night.” Before I knew it, other children started telling me how much they have been praying too! It’s just encouraging seeing undivided passion for the Lord in the lives of Children, as they follow Christ with a pure heart.
I am also in touch with my fellow co-workers in Mexico. The ministry is moving ahead and God has blessed us in very many ways. With the new church building contraction in progress, new people being ministered to and seeing more open hearts.
Mission Possible
On a project note, the “Mission Possible book” is making it’s through the final stages before its publication in the next few weeks. Thank you so much for your support, prayers and advice. Mission Possible is meant to be a practical tool. A guide for those who feel called to ministry. Particularly away from their own countries, communities or boundaries. It is inspired by the questions I receive from others about the mission field, and my own experience. Such a book would have been a valuable tool in my own preparation for the mission field. Mission Possible covers some of the issues I've found to be critical in missions, such as culture, finances, the gift of singleness, interracial romantic relationships for single missionaries and much more. It’s my prayer that the book will serve those preparing for the mission field, and ministry at large.
Prayer Point
Thank you so much for your continual prayer and support. I really appreciate your friendship and only look to God for your reward. I am always encouraged to know that someone somewhere is praying for me. You are also very much in my prayers! You are a partaker of the grace in each and everything I get accomplished for the Lord.
Please continue to pray for
1. Wisdom and Grace to flow freely in our lives
2. For the availability of resources and finances for the ongoing building project
3. And-Safety. That God’s hand will cover us in all our ventures as we take the Good News to the entire world.
May God’s unfailing grace cover you as you go through the month of August, and His perfect peace keep you in all things as you trust Him more and more…. walking in love and obedience with the Savior.
Much love and blessings
Love is King
Donald
